artifact provides a detailed, typically time-based record that both verifies
that a set of tests were run, and provides information that relates to the
success of those tests.  The focus is typically on providing an accurate audit
trail, which enables you to undertake a post-run diagnosis of failures. This
raw data is subsequently analyzed to determine the results of an aspect of
the test effort.</td>

another form.  </p></td>
